Durfee was caught after entering several apartments in the area (College Terrace Apartments.) He was seen and confronted by one resident going through a dresser drawer in a bedroom (he later admitted that he was looking fof underwear.) He also entered two other apartments in the same complex and went into the bathrooms where the women occupants were taking showers. In one of the apartments, he actually broke through the locked bathroom door to get inside and look at the woman showering. "He later admitted that he was looking for women's underwear," Orem Police Lt. Doug Edwards said. Durfee was arrested without incident outside the apartment complex by officers who arrived before Durfee had a chance to escape. He was booked into the Orem holding facility on burglary charges. Durfee is under investigation for sim-, ilar incidents at the College Terrace Apartment complex and the Starcrest apartment complex, where Durfee lives. Although the break ins were near UVSC campus, Durfee is currently a student at BYU. Although this case is rare, UVSC students are advised to always lock their doors even when they are at home. Polynesian iuz TT 1 1 3 courtso mora By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OF THE AP WIRE NEW YORK (AP) The cockpit voice recorder from American Flight 587 indicates the pilots struggled to control the plane after a rattling was heard less than two minutes into take off, investigators reported Tuesday. George Black Jr. of the National Transportation Safety Board said investigators do not yet know what caused the "airframe rattling noise." Also, the pilots spoke of encountering turbu lence in the wake of a Japan Airlines jumbo jet that took off ahead of Flight 587, Black said. "Wake turbulence" is believed to have ! contributed to other deadly airline crashes But Black said it was too early to say if there was any relationship between the noises or the turbulence and the crash of Flight 587. From takeoff to the end of the tape lasts less than 2 minutes, 24 seconds, Black said at a news conference. The first portion of the flight to the Dominican Republic appeared normal, with the co-pilot at the controls. But 107 seconds after the plane had started its takeoff roll, a rattling was heard; 14 seconds later, a second rattle was audible, Black 4 said. Twenty-three seconds later after "several comments suggesting loss of control" the cockpit voice recording ends, he said. The plane's other black box, the flight data recorder, was recovered Tuesday after a 24-hour hunt through a Queens neighborhood staggered by a double dose of tragedy. At least 262 people were killed when the plane crashed. The NTSB was also looking at whether the engines failed after sucking in birds, a phenomenon that has qaused severe damage to airliners in the past. But Black said an initial inspection of the engines found no evidence of such a colli sion. He said a more detailed analysis still needs . to be done. Si All 260 people aboard the twin-engine Airbus A3 00 were killed, and five oth-- ers were reported miss ing on the ground after the fiery crash Monday in the beachfront Rockaway section of Queens. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said 262 bodies had been recovered, along with dozens of body parts. Authorities were working with family members to identify remains through DNA.

Alcoholism is a disease that does not discriminate to age, sex, or religion. The results of alcoholism can be a physical and psychological dependence. Also, it destroys relationships when the alcoholic puts alcohol before his or her family, friends, and jobs. When alcoholics do not have alcohol present in their bodies, they are liable to feel an emptiness within that is completely overwhelming. It is a feeling of not being complete, a feeling a not being 'normal.' Even when the alcohol is drinking, they may experience cravings until they reach their desired point of intoxication. They may feel a great thirst that they are unable to quench. It is a disease of more. They want more even when they are intoxicated.The psychological affects of alcohol are that of mental obsession with alcohol. Alcoholics go over in their minds how and when they are going to get their next drink. Their lives are circled around alcohol. If there is a family function that is not serving alcohol, the alcoholic will find an excuse not to show. Alcohol consumption slowly becomes the sole purpose of an alcoholics life. With alcohol put at the center of one's life, family, friends and jobs suffer because alcohol consumption is put before them. Family members are pushed away, friends are lost and jobs are terminated when alcohol is put at the top of the priority list. The signs and symptoms of alcoholism differ from alcoholic to alcoholic. Common signs and symptoms are drinking alone or in secret, keeping alcohol in unlikely places at home, at work, or in the car, a loss of interest in activities and hobbies that use to bring pleasure to the individual, making a ritual of having drinks at cer- J hi tain times or places, and becoming annoyed when the ritual is disrupted or questioned.

Also, people who drink alcohol excessively are uneducated about the damages that occur when hinging alcohol. Another fact is that certain fraternities promote the drinking of alcohol. All together, these reasons support the fact that there is a problem with alcohol consumption at college campuses in the United States. In 1999, there was a national survey. The survey was drawn from 55,026 students from 132 colleges. They found, nationally, that 72.1 percent of all college students have had one alcoholic beverage in the last month. Of the 72.1 percent students who have had an alcoholic drink, most said they did something while being intoxicated that they regretted. The percentage of college students who drink alcohol from the national average is lower than the percentage of students who drink alcohol while attending UVSC. Only 16.3 percent of UVSC's students have admitted to using alcohol in a six-month time period, during 1997. Even though the time-frame difference of one month to six months in the two surveys, UVSC's students are well below the national average for alcohol consumption. Is there a problem at UVSC with its students consuming alcohol? The UVSC police department is taking an aggressive approach to catching people who are drinking and educating those people. The way the police department is going to educate them is by working with UVSC's health and wellness center. The health and wellness center is taking referrals from the police department to their new alcohol and substance abuse program. Even though there are people sent to the program by the police, the course is offered to any student, free of charge. The drug and alcohol intervention consists of "Alcoholism" continued on pg. 4
